Back in 2004, I couldn't have imagined that it might take 25 years before regularly scheduled flights would begin. Wow. I don't know how many years they will stay in business but they will go out of business at some point. I almost feel like suborbital space is a little pointless at this stage of the game, when actual orbital is so achievable. I feel like you would almost have to be a millionaire to justify the price tag of suborbital, and you would only be in space for a few minutes anyway. Meanwhile, other space tourists will be visiting a space hotel in orbit for a week at a time or longer, which will be a much more impressive experience.
